Sweet dreams Rudey

[Pets mum]

Oh bless him, he's such a good boy isn't he ? I love the look on Mousies face, "where's my stick then ?" :lol:

Is he sucking it up from the syringe? I think he must be at that angle. I've certainly never had a rabbit who would take a syringe feed as well as that. He must be enjoying the flavour of it. He's also a good boy nibbling his apple stick

Not sucking, just lapping as it comes out. Now I don't have to use any limbs & digits getting him in a position for syringe feeding I can apply steady pressure. He typically has 45mls a sitting & dribbles about 5

What a good boy

He is a good boy, most of the time. I think he'd fare better if I did his feeds consistently every 3 hours over 24. We have a good routine but he has a midnight feed then has to wait til 4.30am. I do make sure fresh forage is available at night to top him up. Mousey is a good girl too - she is really helpful in tasting his recovery spoon feeds - just to reassure him its not poisoned of course

Pets mum - fret not, Mousey gobbles any forage far faster than Rudey so she always gets the lions share

First day in ages Rudey must have eaten his cecos & isn't in need of clean up - typical its the day his Emeraid arrives so I won't know whether that helps or not. Still any clean bum day is a good day I suppose

That's great! X

Well done Rudey !!

Rudey is more wobbly these days, his legs are all over the place & he sometimes falls over
Pasturella wise he is all clear (which surprises me as he has a lot to cope with physically & emotionally). He is still taking the majority of his syringe feeds. He is still really skinny but not more so (not sure it'd be possible). He still has bright eyes & a shiny coat. He loves his Mousey & she has actually been grooming him a bit recently. He doesn't like cuddles with me anymore, his body goes really tense when I pick him up but he does like (& expect) lots of floor fusses. he's enjoying his forage too.

Hopefully not tempting fate but I'm really impressed he hasn't needed the dentist. With his front teeth he snips lots of hay in to pieces (never eats it) which I assume is to help wear them & I assume the back ones he manages by wearing them with jaw movements (& a little grass). No sore hocks either. He had a little one when he arrived but none since. Given mousey looks like a ballet dancer next to him I thought'd he'd be high risk.

Aww bless him, he’s such a sweetie, even with a stinky bum! You’re doing an amazing job caring for him with so much dedication

 

[Pets mum]

Bless him, good boy Rudey, I love you with or without a splotty botty

 

[Scrappy's Little Helper]

You're doing an amazing job taking care of him and it does sound like he's holding his own. Also lovely to read the he's getting lots of cuddles from Mouse xx

What a brave soldier Rudey is Of course all the care he receives from his Human means he knows he is not fighting all his problems on his own

 

[Cuthbert&Dillon]

Beautiful boy, keep snipping that hay.

 

[Zoobec]

He’s doing so well in your excellent care
